Vibration Fixture Design Considerations for Shaker Qualification Testing

September 22-23, 2026 | Charlotte, North Carolina | $2400 Registration Fee

vibration testing seminar

Registration fee covers course materials, hands-on lab section, and meals

Introduction to the basics of vibration qualification testing. Review of MIL-Specs and requirements that define vibration tests. Review of vibration shakers, amplifiers, instrumentation and vibration controllers. Critical information on designing fixturing to interface the test article to the shaker. Tips and best practices including review of techniques for determining dynamic response using test (impact modal) and analysis (Finite Element). Demonstration of vibration qualification testing. Valuable to technicians, test engineers, test lab managers as well as design engineers and test conductors. Dr. Pete Avitabile, Professor Emeritus at the University of Massachusetts Lowell, will lead the seminar discussions.
